What to give Poland for the 70th Anniversary of Her Invasion?

John Thacker September 17, 2009, 10:04am #"How are we selling out the Czechs & Poles?"

Well, agree or disagree with the overall policy, we had an agreementwith the Czechs and Poles, and then unilaterally decided to abandon it andinform them of our decision. This is being done to placate Russia. Yes,Presidents do have the right to overturn their predecessor's policies, but it'salso understandable that some people in other countries might feel betrayed.

The nice part is that the Obama team, being schooled in history, decidedto declare this on September 17, 2009, the seventieth anniversary of theSoviet invasion of Poland.

The whole thing is also further evidencethat nobody really cares about being unilateral, just like nobody really caresabout deficits, and nobody really cares about ethics. Or, at least, people careabout the policies involved a lot more than the care about the forms.
